      of Washington, 1982RESEARCHUpon completion of graduate school, Jacoby Carter

      worked at the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (formerly National Wetlands

      Research Center) in Lafayette, Louisiana. Most of his research has focused on

      popluation dynamic modeling, studying invasive species and estuarine submerged

      aquatic vegetation. Carter''s international work has included research in Mexico

      on land use change, in Vietnam on fire behavior models, and in Madagascar on

      environmental risk/benefit analysis. His current research emphases are modeling

      population dynamics, spatial distributions of plants and animals, movement models,

      and invasive species research. Species Carter currently works with are Green

      Treefrogs (Hyla cinerea), Nutria (Myocastor coypus), and Island Applesnails

      (Pomacea insularum). In addition, Carter is doing work on fire behavior models

      for Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) forest in Vietnam and have done a variety

      of vegetative surveys and monitoring.His personal research has focused on the

      following areas: developing improved telemetry equipment and techniques, documenting

      nutria natural history in non-marsh systems, modeling nutria population dynamics,

      dispersal and their impact on marsh systems.Island applesnail research team

      research, and testing biocontrol potential of native species.Green treefrog

      research: Carter is a co-PI for an NSF funded Undergraduate Biology/Mathematics

      Project.  Research for the project includes long term monitoring (5 years to

      date) of green treefrog population in an urban area. He developed and supervises
